In a similar vein, I'd suggest we tweak the last item to request
further information on the Board's recent action to form "a working
group on the Nominating Committee Recruitment & Selection Process and
Size & Composition" as reported in
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-07feb14-en.htm
 The broader context is that there is debate over how organizational
structure (SG's, Constituencies) should relate to representation on
Nomcom.

As for the NPOC seat situation, I can seek out further information and
provide an update in the NCSG meeting.
